Why funeral directors miss so many calls
A family ringing at three in the morning needs somebody to answer, and they will remember for the rest of their lives whether you did.
When the phone rings out
- nights, when most deaths are reported
- weekends and bank holidays
- while staff are conducting a funeral
What they are ringing about
- a death that has just happened
- costs and what is included
- arranging a time to come in
What that costs a single site
£77,700
a month, on conservative assumptions
About 16 missed calls a week. Assume only a third would have become customers, that is roughly 5 a week, and one customer is worth £3,400 to a funeral director. Change any of those to your own figures and the answer stays uncomfortable.

Books appointments for the family to come in
It tells callers what it is
It says it is an assistant when it picks up. It gives no advice it is not qualified to give, and anything on your escalation list stops the conversation and reaches you straight away. For a funeral director that matters more than the clever bits, because the calls you cannot afford to get wrong are the ones you most need answered.
What funeral directors ask us
Is an assistant appropriate for these calls?
It answers within one ring at any hour, speaks gently, says what it is, takes only what is needed and puts a person in touch quickly. An unanswered phone at that moment is far worse.
How fast does our duty director know?
Immediately. A first call is always urgent and is treated as one.
Will it discuss costs?
It gives your published prices if asked and otherwise arranges the appointment. It never pushes anything.
